Watch this space: 10 hunting stars of the future *PICTURES*

Madeleine Silver

    • Those early season nerves at the meet are all too familiar… As is the moment you look across to see someone a sixth of your age and a quarter of your size, on a pony with barely-there legs merrily enjoying the occassion.

    And then there is that heart-sinking moment when your 16.1hh “experienced hunter” is turning himself inside out at an insignificant set of rails, and that pony you spotted earlier sails over in front of you.

    All hail for the budding thrusters of the future — they certainly know how to put us in our place…
